Descriptions
The Experimental Films Collection contains a variety of experimental genre film art from established moving image artists to student films, both local and international.
Containing 878 titles, the Experimental Films Collection is a comprehensive study of Experimental Film throughout the 20th Century. Starting with the 'Trick' films of the early part of the century, moving into Avant Garde Film and the work of artists such as Len Lye and Arthur and Corinne Cantrill, right through to the emerging artists of the 21st Century, this Collection tracks the development of this movement, through film, VHS and DVD. Some of these works have also featured in an installation context in contemporary exhibitions at ACMI.
